In negotiating contracts pursuant to this article, the negotiator may designate a specific group of hospitals as the negotiating unit. The Legislature finds and declares that, in any case where the negotiator designates a group of hospitals for purposes of negotiation there is a compelling state interest in negotiating on this basis, thereby exempting such negotiations from federal antitrust provisions.
